For christmas, my parents got me four sessions with a trainer. I have only been with her twice, but I feel stronger. In the past, I've hated lifting weights but now seeing and feeling the results, I AM HOOKED!:happy:

  • Sweet :) Stick with it! Those initial quick gains are your previously dormant motor neurons which you shocked into action and then learned how to work more efficiently. This is probably not a result of strength gains or hypertrophy but if you keep lifting in a well designed program you will get stronger and everything in life will get easier.
